Description
Oxaloacetate decarboxylase or OAD functions as a Na pump in anaerobic bacteria. It is a membrane protein consisting of three subunits, α, β and γ with the α subunit containing the carboxylase activity.
Abbr
OAD, Native (Pseudomonas sp.)
Applications
Oxaloacetate decarboxylase has been used in a study to assess turnover and accessibility of a reentrant loop of the Na (+)-glutamate transporter GltS. It has also been used in a study to investigate fermentation and metabolic characteristics of Gluconacetobacter oboediens for different carbon sources.
